The Franklin County coroner's office will be examining human remains found this week in Perry County.

The bones were found about 4p.m. Sunday, officials said. Mike Allen, a resident of Glenford, Ohio, came across skeletal remains in some woods about 20 feet from the berm of Township Road 63, about 5 miles northeast of the village, said Perry County Deputy Chris Picconi.

Sheriff William R. Barker and Perry County Coroner Brad Wilson contacted a team of Ohio State University anthropologists, who helped remove debris around the remains.

The skeletal remains were taken in bags to the Franklin County coroner's office for further examination.

Authorities were not yet able to determine the gender, age or any other information about the skeleton, according to Barker's office.
